Kylie Koopa is a female pink-shelled Koopa Troopa who debuts in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. She works as a journalist for the Koopa Kronicle, which is most likely a news organization in the Mushroom Kingdom of the past. As a reporter that is always on the lookout for "The Big Scoop", she has a ritzy personality, uses slang when she talks, and likes to take lots of pictures with her camera. She is a friendly Koopa who supports the Mario Bros. on their adventures.
History
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Mario, Luigi and their baby counterparts first encounter Kylie Koopa when traveling to Yoshi's Island, where she actively pursues information about the Shroob monster, Yoob, and the disappearance of the Yoshis. While assisting her in finding the Yoshis, Yoob discovers them and eats Kylie Koopa while she tries to get pictures of him; however, Yoob only ate Yoshis, and immediately spat her out.
Kylie is not seen again until the Mario Bros. and their baby selves enter Gritzy Desert, where she tells the brothers about the Shroob meeting and the secret entrance to the Koopaseum. Later, she is kidnapped and tied up by the Shroobs in the Koopaseum and then left as food for Petey Piranha. The Mario Bros. rescue her in Gritzy Caves and defeat Petey, and Kylie reveals that Princess Peach had been eaten and spat out before spinning away.
Later, as the Bros. are at the mercy of Princess Shroob, Kylie reveals that she was disguised as one of the Shroobs and rescues the team. She then finds out Toadbert recovered his memory, and they quickly follow the Mario Bros. to tell them what he had learned about the Cobalt Star. However, she and Toadbert are turned into Shroob Mushrooms by the Elder Shrooboid. At the end of the game, Kylie is one of the many characters returned to normal by Baby Luigi's tears.
One of the Toads in Peach's Castle mentions having read a book called "Fungicide: The Epic Battle for the Mushroom Kingdom". The book had been written by Kylie, and is implied to be about the adventure of the four Mario Bros. and their battle against the Shroobs.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
- “You wanna know why I'm here? Glad you asked, boys! Name's Kylie Koopa! Ace guidebook writer for the entire island!”
- —Kylie Koopa, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Kylie returns in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. She now works in a building in Wakeport where she writes tourist guides. Strangely, although this game takes place in the present day, Kylie Koopa still looks no older or different than she did in the past. She also does not seem to remember the Bros., due to the numerous jobs she has had in her career. All throughout Pi'illo Island, Kylie had left blocks with snapshots called Camera Blocks that Mario and Luigi can find and retrieve their snapshots from. Because the snapshots are encrypted, Kylie asks the brothers to decrypt them for her by rearranging pieces of the image. Kylie times the Bros. when reassembling the snapshots, and rewards them with Coins or DX Beans if they complete it under a time limit.
During the ending credits, Kylie Koopa is seen taking a picture of Princess Peach and some Toads on Mount Pajamaja. In the group picture at the end, her cap and arm can be seen at the bottom.
